Now it’s exclusively – Cristiano Ronaldo is the all-time top scorer in official games. The big star of Juventus rose tonight (Wednesday) to the top of the historic table of the conquerors in games in team and national team uniform after scoring the 760th goal of his career. He did so against Napoli, in the Italian Super Copa game in which Juventus won 0: 2.
Last week, in a 1-3 win over Sassuolo, Ronaldo equaled the previous record (759 goals) that belonged to Josef Bitzan. The Austrian-Czechoslovakian who died in December 2001 scored 759 goals in his career that lasted from 1928 to 1955. Now the Portuguese is ranked alone at the top.

Already two weeks ago, Ronaldo rose to second place after scoring a double in Juventus’ 1: 4 victory over Udinese and overtaking Pela (757) who is now ranked third. Leo Messi is ranked fourth with 715 goals and given the fact that he is two years younger than Ronaldo he still has a chance to overtake Ronaldo and Bitzan in the future.
As mentioned, this is about scoring goals in official games only, which provokes debate around the world. According to the general count (including friendly matches) Pele has 1281 conquests and Bitzan 805. Many argue that goals scored in friendly matches should be taken into account, which in the past were more important than today, aroused interest and a large audience would come to watch them.

Ronaldo scored five goals in his youth in the Sporting Lisbon uniform and then added 118 goals in the Manchester United uniform, 450 in Real Madrid and 83 so far in the Juventus uniform, in addition to the 103 goals he has for Portugal. He has now conquered another peak, two weeks before his 36th birthday.
